Introduction
The Job Types List form is hierarchal in nature and allows users of Total Office Manager to create their own structure to match their particular industry. Enter a word or phrase you want to use to categorize the job you are performing for the customer in this list.
Form Access
-
From the main menu, click Customers | Lists | Job Type List.
Usage of Job Types List
The Job Types List will appear on the Customer:Job under the Job tab. To assign a particular job appropriately, select a type from the drop-down menu. You may also create a new Job Type, if the one you need, is not in the list. This will allow for the proper hierarchy to present itself throughout Total Office Manager. Depending upon the nature of your business, this is a useful feature for reporting purposes and job costing.
